If I use the stock location, this places the drivers side wheel way outside the fender. Also, the stock springs and perches are much narrower than the donor springs and perches, which could present stability issu
Just using my calibrated eyeball, it looks to me like the donor springs will sit just outside the frame rails, which got me thinking about changing the spring hanger location. I believe that GM used the same width of spring, so I'm going to explore using spring perches and hangers from a GM product.
Sorry about being out of touch guys. It's been kind of a crazy few months. Brian, I'll see if can find your email or PM you my new number.
Kevin, I would still like to get together this summer and get you that engine. In the last few months, I've also taken on yet another odd ball vehicle, an '89 Subaru DL wagon. Lol
